Aftermarket Alarm gone CRAZY!
 

Today I locked my car as usual, and I heard the chirp from my alarm system (300 ESP), but the door locks would not lock when the alarm activated (they should). I later tried it again, and it worked normally. Later I tried again and it would not work again. Then they worked again. (The central locking switch on the console works normally.) I did notice, however, that the alarm will unlock the doors (can hear vacuum pump) when disactivated, though is tempermental about locking the doors.
Anyway, I was just outside attempting to lock the doors, and they would not lock. I pressed the alarm button to unlock and lock, over and over again, producing the chirps, but not the door locks. In the midst of my pressing the button OVER AND OVER, the windows and sunroof began to close! By the time I realized this I had already stopped the closing procedure! I do'nt understand how the windows and sunroof could have started to close?
When I was asking the alarm people about adding the open/close windows feature to the alarm system, he said it would be too complex because more parts would be needed, even though it's possible to do this by turning the key. Now I'm beginning to wonder if that guy is nuts, because I did it!
But I tried to replicate the procedure, and I only made the alarm go off. STRANGE!
Can anyone explain? Or atleast help with the alarm problem? I checked the vacuum pump, and everything is as it should be back there. Haven't checked the actual alarm module yet though.
THANKS!!

I'd start with relays or fuses on the alarm itself.

I'd also take it to the shop that did it and explain to them what it did and have them look at it.

I had a similar problem with an Alpine Alarm. Turned out that the brain had gone bad and they replaced it under warranty.
They gave me this weird sunspot theory or something like that to explain the brain failure. What ever. Have the shop that installed it take a look at it. I usually do everything on my cars myself, but aftermarket alarms I won't touch. They go crazy pretty often and can leave you clueless if you installed them yourself.
Good Luck!
